Ellington Farmers Market Seeks Local Partners to Strengthen Community and Food Access

The Ellington Farmers Market has long been more than a place to shop for fresh, local food. Each week, it serves as a gathering place where farmers, families, and small businesses come together around shared values, community connections, and a mutual sense of care for one another.

As the market looks ahead to the 2026 season, organizers are inviting businesses, organizations and individuals to become Market Partners. This program is designed to help keep the market welcoming, accessible, and resilient, while also strengthening its impact across the community.

Support from Market Partners directly benefits the Farmers Feeding Families program, which helps low income seniors and families stretch their food dollars at the market each week. Over $50,000 was distributed through this program in 2025.

With outside funding sources becoming increasingly uncertain, local partnerships are more important than ever. Market Partners play a key role in ensuring that the Ellington Farmers Market remains a dependable resource for those who rely on it, while continuing to foster a vibrant marketplace for local agriculture and small businesses.
